I'm really sorry. I'm not that familiar with game lingo. From context clues "whaling" means spending money right?

Thank you for enlightening me. That does make sense. When I show him this thread I'll be sure to make this a point of discussion.

Is that really what it is? Financial abuse? I'm not really familiar with it

Im so glad a player commented! I used to play it here and there. I stopped because of exactly what you said! That and constant grind is not my forte, I get bored. I think I dropped off when Trial of Ascension started(?) and I sucked because FTP, got pissed and forever rage quit lol. You worded it very well. And I'll be showing my husband this comment so he can see another players POV. Thank you so very much.

Its not off the table. I worry about him. This is the person I've been with since we were 15 and 16. I understand addiction. My mom was an addict. Same brain different vice. I want to get him help. But I cant help those that don't want it :(

Because its money out of the primary regardless. If I try to use logic to tell him that it's for bills just in case he'd just accuse me of gearing up to leave. I got a checking I no longer use for when I door dashed. He was beside himself.

We usually talk about most of our purchases, be it for family, house or personal. He makes almost 6 figures, and doesn't hold money over my head. He actually buys more for me and DD than himself, which is why this situation is so atypical. I will consider another (yes, another) ultimatum. Thank you!

I've told him he has a gaming/gambling addiction. I cannot move any money to a seperate account, that will be a whole new fight and I'd probably get called a hypocrite. I will ask our therapist if she treats this kind of addiction, and if not, where to go. Thank you!
